If you’re hungry for Italian food, you’ve found yourself in the right place. Here in Durand, MI, we’ve got plenty of dining options, including some of the best Italian fare in the state. To get you going, we’ve put together a list of 5 of our favorite restaurants, each offering a variety of delicious appetizers, entrees, fine desserts, and wines.
1. Bravo! Italian Kitchen
This upscale establishment prides itself on fresh ingredients and quality dishes. They even grow their own spices on site. Enjoy authentic pasta, pizza, soups, and salads in a cozy environment. Start with the crispy shrimp Napoli or the meatballs and ricotta. For a soup, try the lobster bisque. We recommend the chicken scaloppine or the grilled salmon for an entrée. Finish off your meal with the crème brulee or the caramel mascarpone cheesecake.
2. Roma’s Back Door
When you’re in the mood for a great buffet, look no further than Roma’s. You’ll find an assortment of classics, ranging from lasagna, calzones, pizza, ribs, and a salad bar. When ordering off the menu, we suggest the veal parmigiana, cajun lasagna, the cucumber dill salmon, or the hand-battered butter-fried shrimp. You can also choose the “pick-a-pasta and sauce” or create your own combo. And don’t forget the Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, loaded with sauce and cheese.
3. Ruggero’s
For delicious food at affordable prices served up with friendly service, stop by family-owned Ruggero’s. Local’s simply love it and keep coming back. We suggest visiting during dinner hours when they serve their homemade bread, which is to die for. For entrees, they serve everything from baked pasta to fresh fish, tender veal to ravioli, and pomodoro to ricotta. Their facilities are also perfect for business meetings, showers, rehearsal dinners, and birthday parties.
4. Sam’s
Serving quality, affordable food since 1973, Sam’s is a locals’ favorite. They use only the freshest ingredients to create tasty and unique Italian fare, and they pride themselves on home-cooked meals, including lasagna, pizza, and pasta. Be sure to ask for Mama’ Silvana’s special homemade sauce! Take advantage of their daily specials, which you’ll find on their website. And bring your appetite–or ask for a to-go box–because they don’t skimp on portions.
5. Pesto’s
For a casual dining experience, visit Pesto’s. They serve traditional Italian and American cuisine, such as pizza, pasta, soups, and sandwiches. Start with the French onion soup or bruschetta while you browse the menu. For an entrée, we recommend the sirloin pesto meatballs or the chicken marsala. You can even create your own pasta dish, which comes with a garden salad and garlic bread. If you’re more in a sandwich mood, try the pesto slammer or the vegetarian Greek.
